Historical information
Email from "Heike Dansard"
Dear Elizabeth Lambert, your request has been forwarded to me. I look after the collections in Bayer's corporate history. In our collection we have only two packs of Cycloform. The information is therefore not very extensive. The registered trademark is 18.06.1907 and the year of issue is 1910. Application: Anesthetic and wound healing agent, especially for burns and cracks (mammals, ani, etc.), and also for anesthesia of the mucous membranes[Source: Gehes Codex, 1926]. Composition: C6H4 (NH2)COOC4H9, p-amidobenzoic acid isobutyl ester. I hope I could help you with that.
Freundliche Grüße / Best regards,
Heike Dansard
